HEARTH Monitoring and Evaluation Toolkit
This resource is a cross-sectoral monitoring and evaluation toolkit designed for the Health, Ecosystems, and Agriculture for Resilient, Thriving Societies (HEARTH) Global Development Alliance. This toolkit packages a suite of indicators and guidance as customizable modules for different sectors—including biodiversity conservation and climate change, food security, health, governance, and economic growth—so that individual HEARTH activities can apply the modules most relevant to their work. The modules draw on global best practices in each sector to allow robust and consistent measurement of a broad range of outcomes for integrated programs.
